Réka Szabó: When I grow up

Réka Szabó's sculpture When I Grow Up seeks to capture a moment that is impossible in reality, yet evokes feelings familiar to us all. "As children, we often associate height with becoming an adult. Who hasn't heard the question: What will you be when you grow up? To this day, I still can't answer that question – perhaps because I never really grew high," says the artist.

Réka Szabó is a student at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, attending Ádám Szabó’s class. She is currently still searching for her own path, while striving to master as many techniques and forms of expression as possible. Environmental protection and social responsibility are close to her heart, and these themes play a decisive role in her thinking and work. In the future, she would like to use her sculptures to draw attention to the harmful effects of consumer society.
